Shortages

Just want to put to bed the myth about this new ferry route bypassing England from Ireland to upset brexit plans

Irish ferries started to operate from Dublin to Cherbourg route way back in 2013 so this is pre referendum so clearly has nothing to do with brexit all the ferry operators have done which they have been working on for a long time by the way is increased the frequency

The biggest issue for a lot of workers wasn’t brexit it was the closing of the IR35 tax loophole a lot of drivers of all nationalities (me too bc lider) benefited from this yet as soon as it closed they upped and left

25,000 left the UK and we have 40,000 waiting to do tests yet there remains huge shortages globally with drivers not just in the UK and if you look at Poland who are stating they are 125,000 short Then you understand that no one really wants to do the job

That’s the real truth not many actually want to do the job anymore and it’s not because of brexit it’s because of many things but the common theme around the world is pay conditions and long hours
